|PIC1|Irish singing sensation and gospel singer Moya Brennan, formerly of Clannad, will release her latest single "Merry Go Round" from her album Signature on iTunes, available from 12 March.

In addition, Brennan recently announced her first UK tour in six years - the Signature Tour. Complete with a seven piece band - including harp and pipes - the tour will feature tracks from the latest album as well as inimitable classics from her work at the heart of Clannad.

With album sales in excess of 15 million and her long-lasting and inspirational music, Brennan has been dubbed the first lady of Celtic music. The breadth of her music career is impressive, from film soundtracks (most recently King Arthur along with Patriot Games, and The Last Of The Mohicans), to Christian recordings, television series and even dance anthems (like her hit with Chicane - 'Salt Water').

As a former cultural icon she has been a sought after partner, duetting with everyone from Bono to Ronan Keating, Paul Young to Russell Watson.

The Signature tour will look back over a life less ordinary, drawing on the album, which tells her story through a collection of 12 tracks. According to Brennan, the album reflects snapshots of her life, a journey mixed with bittersweet memories and sometimes dark moments.

The tour will kick off 18 March in Manchester and wrap up 1 April in Dartford.
